Taking on a new sport
Last week, I decided that I will play in a IBM soccer league - after getting the assurance from the captain that - its ok if I have never (ever since elementary school) played that sport before.
Saturday was our first practice, so Chris went with me Friday night to Dicks to outfit me with the requirements :
Yes - pink soccer ball :) . Dicks was having a youth soccer set sale - which made the ball cost about 4 dollars extra (b/c I was picking up new cleats). I didn't know what a shin-guard was till I saw and tried it on... its like a helmet - but for your shins.
Pretty excited. Soccer is one sport that I remember liking a while ago... so I was looking forward to see if it was how I remembered it.
Saturday was practice ... started in the morning. Practice was fun but very tiring... We stayed out for about 1 1/2 hrs and its really just way too hot for any type of activities. But so far so good. no major injuries (and that's my goal).

Cool that you're taking up a new sport, and good job on getting shin guards! I didn't learn about shin guards till after I got kicked in the shins. It's very painful and the pain lingers.
yeah... we tested it :) So far hasn't been kicked.
